Got a quick update!

I moved the arcade in to my place over the weekend after completing a few more things on it.

We added/completed a shelving unit:

Bottom shelf will be PS1 and top shelf the Raspberry Pi etc.


I also added a slide out draw for a keyboard. As after all its running on Linux so a keyboard is pretty necessary.

It may not be wrapped, but it will be operational for sure.

It's operational now almost, just have to get the arcade sticks attached properly.

Another quick update to show you all what I've been doing. I mounted both arcade joysticks and the track ball over the weekend, so now the control panel is ready to be wrapped:

(buttons are just in for show atm)

I'll be covering this all in much more detail once it has been wrapped (Part 7). But the sticks and trackball needed to go in now as I didn't want to mount them through the vinyl and have screws exposed.


Also I'll let you all in on some design ideas for the machine wrap (designs all courtesy of Pythagean so thank you). Let me know what you all think:

I am pretty certain on both sides and the back. I love Metal Gear and Slash so it's kinda a given. I also want the forum logo on it for the top banner and potentially the door. Just deciding on the control panel image and any other details.

Let me know what you think!

Another quick update! It looks like an arcade now!

We added the screen over the weekend. It's a clear piece of acrylic with black vinyl to cover everything so you can only see the screen.


I also got the button colour and layout set now. All that's left is to get this bad boy wrapped!
